it is Nick that always has gone after Phyllis begging her for another change and begging her to remarry him because he is better man when he is with her!

Most of their marriage revolved around him wanting Sharon actually.

actually he has told Sharon she means nothing to him multiple times and wished she had remained dead, that does not equate to "wanting" someone!

He never wished she remained dead, he said maybe they would have been better off if she was dead. Harsh, but not as much as you make it out to be. He stills loves her more than old red who he basically referred to as a therapist with sexual benefits
